  Abstract:  In this study the author presents the steps it went through, which are: Theological Institute (1924-1925), with three years of study instruction; b. Theological Academy (1925-1948), with four years of study instruction, without having the right to grant the academic degree in Theology and c. Theological Institute of University Rank (1948-1952), with four years of study preparation and having the right to grant the academic degree in Theology; during the spring of 1952, the Romanian communist regime abusively dissolved the Theological Institute of University Orthodox Degree of Cluj, although at that time, due to its professorate, it was a prestigious Superior Theological School of our country. After the Revolution of December 1989, at Pr. Prof. Dr. Alexandru Moraru`s initiative (from the Orthodox Theological Seminary of Cluj-Napoca), to which adhered Pr. Prof. Dr. Valer Vel, Pr. Prof. Drd. Vasile Stanciu and Pr. Prof. Drd. Stelian Tofană, in the spring of 1990, the Romanian Patriarchate, in compliance with the Address no. 766 from 16th of March of 1990, as well as the Ministry of Education, in compliance with the Address no. 1748 from the 30th of March of 1990, approved the reestablishment of the University Theological Institute of Cluj-Napoca, which became in 1992 the Faculty of Theology of the “Babeş-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca. During the two decades of activity, the Faculty can be proud of the exceptional teaching staffs, who are Ph. Ds., who published in Romania and abroad, who are members in Associations and Societies here and in other parts of the world. During the twenty years` activity, some graduates of the Faculty became bishops of the Romanian Orthodox Church, university or seminary teaching staff, Religion teachers, important social assistants, specialists in restoring old church art and many priests who honor their mission; all of them serve the ancient Church and our nation with dignity.
